Alaska Civil Pattern Jury Instruction 7.02

Liability for Defect in Product

activein force · 1987-01-01 – presentas-observed

Plaintiff's [first] theory of recovery is that plaintiff was [injured] [damaged] by a defect in a product which the defendant [made] [sold] [rented to (insert lessee)]. In order to recover, plaintiff must establish that it is more likely true than not true:

(1) that the product was defective;

(2) the product was defective when it left the possession of the defendant; and

(3) a defect in the product was a legal cause of the [injury] [damage].

I will explain what "defect in the product" means and what "legal cause" means in a moment.
